Welcome from the Principal

Holland Park School is a unique and extraordinary school.

We are a non-selective comprehensive school in inner West London, and we pride ourselves on the diversity of our 1,300 students and our ambition for everyone in our school to achieve their very best.  

Thank you for your interest in Holland Park School, it is a privilege to be the Principal of such a remarkable school. The high numbers of students achieving the top grades this summer are a testament to the fact that Holland Park is a school that continues to excel, inspire, and transform the lives of the young people who come through our doors.

Our aim as a school, is to deliver world class education to our students in an environment where learning is valued, diversity is embraced and an ambition for every one of our students pervades all of our endeavours. A school which pursues academic excellence and genuine inclusion with vigour, energy and moral purpose. We are also resolute in the belief that our students deserve an education that inspires, challenges and empowers them. As such, we are committed to the provision of a myriad of opportunities for students to broaden their horizons and develop skills and competencies beyond the curriculum through our Character Education programme. Furthermore, as Principal of this extraordinary school, I am determined that every student will be able to reflect on their time with us as happy, and having provided the foundations needed for their long term future success.

I have always believed that education is a three-way partnership (home, student and school) in which success is guaranteed when all three partners are working in unison and to that one common goal; the success of the child. We have a talented and committed staff body, and students who are articulate, ambitious and enthusiastic, and I am really looking forward to working together with parents and the wider community on the evolution of our shared, ambitious goals for each and every student at Holland Park School.

Our new website will give you an insight into life at our school, but the best way to get to know us is to come and visit us in person so you can meet our students and staff and get a real feel for this unique and exceptional school

I look forward to welcoming you.
